ok mommies! I am a new mommy & I freak out about everything. I'm 18 weeks and I find out Tuesday what we're having. I've been seeing where I should be feeling kicks and such. But I very rarely even feel anything, does anyone else experience that? Like, I just feel little flutters and jerks every now and then.
I started feeling little taps at 20 weeks, although I realized I had actually been feeling them for 3-4 weeks prior to that and just didn't know what they were yet. I'd guess that if I got pregnant again, I'd knowingly feel them at 16-17 weeks.
Its VERY normal! Like others have said, all pregnancies are different. With my first I felt at 20 weeks, with this one I already started feeling at 16w3d (but this is my 2nd time around). You will soon enough feel like you have a soccer player in there!
Re: Baby movement.
18 weeks is still early.
consistent movement may not come until the later 20s.
